I generally DON'T use dotted rests, except in 12/8 (and maybe some other composed metres). 6/8 definitely not, but 9/8 is a toss-up. If there is a lot of syncopation in 9/8, I would go for dotted rests, which clarify the beat. If most of it was regular divisions and subdivisions, I would stick with quarter-eighth rests.
